A Warm Welcome at Jewel Changi Airport

The adventure begins at the multi-awarded Jewel Changi Airport, consistently ranked among the world’s best. The dynamic duo immediately dives into Singapore’s renowned food culture with breakfast at Lau Pa Sat.

As night falls, Laurel visits Xiao Ya Tou, a trendy restaurant bar offering Asian cuisine with modern flair. The highlight comes at Baia, where she samples the signature Singapolitan cocktail (a creative twist on the cosmopolitan and Singapore sling) and discovers a secret backroom with prime views of the Formula 1 race track – a perfect insider tip for motorsport fans.

Cultural Immersion and Theme Park Thrills

Day two begins with an authentic Singaporean breakfast experience at Nanyang Old Coffee, where Laurel and Bukie learn to brew traditional kopi and enjoy it with kaya toast. Their cultural journey continues through Chinatown before shifting gears to Resorts World Sentosa for magical encounters at Harry Potter: Visions of Magic, breathtaking vistas from SkyHelix Sentosa, and playful moments in Minion Land at Universal Studios Singapore.

Discovering Singapore’s Hidden Treasures

The vlog truly distinguishes itself when Laurel ventures beyond tourist hotspots to explore New Bahru. Here, she visits OMNO, a local personal care brand where she creates custom scented products, then samples distinctive café culture at Kings Cart Coffee and PPP Coffee.

A culinary highlight comes at True Blue Cuisine, where Laurel indulges in Peranakan specialties like chap chye (cabbage stew) and ayam buah keluak (braised chicken in tamarind sauce with black nut). These authentic flavors showcase Singapore’s rich cultural tapestry.
